Hi mathan,

there is no mismatch. The Profile shows only the number of different rated posts. So there has to be another post, where this user has stars.

Hai mike,

I saw all the posts by that user. He got 3 stars for this post and another 1 star for a post in the same thread. So totally 4 no???

But in profile, its mentioned just 2.

How?????????????

Hi mathan,

he got in one post 3*5 and in another post 1*5.
so he has to post with stars and thats what you see in the User Profile.
Every post get an own average. And all post together is the overall average.

Example.
1post: 1*1, 1*3, 1*5 = 3

2post: 1*5 = 5

User Profile: 1*3, 1*5 = 4

Hope this helps.

Dear mike,

Now i understand.

So,

For that case i mentioned, he got 3 ratings for a single post, so 3*5=15/3=5 average   --->1

and for other post 1*5=5/1=5 average    --->2

So, here it goes... 1 and 2 finally gave 2 ratings with 5 average.

Am i right?

Yes, you can only rate once you have a certain number of posts.

So far, you have only 16 posts. I think you need to have about 50.

Thanks altenbach... I was wondering was was up...  I used to have a blue name,  but when I left NI I couldn't get my old profile to work again.

There's a very good reason for that. After all, I doubt that NI would want to have a former NI employee speak on a public forum and then have people think that user was speaking for NI, since the blue names are (supposedly) NI people.
